520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. "Assessing the significance of the artistic activity of the mentally ill, Paul Klee recommended that the work of psychotic artists be "taken seriously, more seriously than all the public galleries when it comes to reforming today's art." This pioneering work, the first history of the art of the insane. scrutinizes changes in attitudes toward the art of the mentally ill from a time when it was either ignored or ridiculed, through the era when Klee, along with other major figures in the art world, discovered the extraordinary power of visual statements by psychotic artists such as Adolf Wolfli and Richard Dadd. John MacGregor draws on his dual training in art history and in psychiatry and psychoanalysis to describe not only this evolution in attitudes, but also the significant influence of the art of the mentally ill on the development of modern art as a whole. His detailed narrative, with its strangely beautiful illustrations, introduces us to a fascinating group of people that includes the psychotic artists, both trained and untrained, and the psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, critics, and art historians who encountered their work. After discussing the situation of the mentally ill in the 1700s, and the later Romantic obsession with the insane as visionary heroes, MacGregor explores the process of discovery of psychotic art in the latter half of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. In separate chapters he then relates this discovery to later developments - German Expressionism and the Nazis' purge of "degenerate" art and artists; Surrealism; and Jean Dubuffet and l'Art Brut. This work will attract a wide audience of general readers, artists, and art historians, as well as those in the field of psychology and psychiatry" -- Dust jacket.
